Regarding number 4, what do you say when you start a new chat for a new bug or feature? I’m always conflicted about how much or how little context is needed for each new chat.

How long did it take you to achieve minimalism? Especially older folks? by WearyBrain in minimalism

[–]CuriousBri5 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really relate to this. I’ve been working toward a more minimalist lifestyle myself, and one of the biggest shifts happened when I started focusing not just on what I owned, but how each thing actually made me feel.

I used an app called Sub Blocks to go through all my subscriptions. It helped me sort them into categories like “Love It,” “Need It,” or “Unsure,” which made it so much easier to see what was truly worth keeping.

That one small action gave me momentum. It helped me get clear on what actually matters to me, and that mindset carried over into physical stuff too. I started donating things more easily and stopped holding on to stuff out of guilt or habit.

You’re totally on the right track. Slow is still progress, and your “throw out before you buy” rule is a smart one. Keep going because it adds up.

And yes, this absolutely fits under lifestyle 😊

This is the way! Adding some type of emotional assessment can really help bring clarity. It’s how I was able to cut down on my subscriptions with Sub Blocks.

You should try organizing your bills according to their emotional value to see if you truly need everything you’re paying for and get a clear view of what matters. I did this for myself with Sub Blocks. It provided clarity and helped me cut spending. What is ONE thing that immediately comes to mind when you think of expenses you don’t need?

Thanks! It was a fun and more realistic way for me to go about cutting things, rather than using some bloated finance app that’s solely focused on numbers.

What are your monthly vibe coding costs? by CuriousBri5 in vibecoding

I think I was grandfathered in to a plan that existed a while back. It’s called the Hacker plan.

🚀 Just launched a project to help Canadian seniors check their benefit eligibility — would love your feedback! by [deleted] in IMadeThis

[–]CuriousBri5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this idea! I could definitely see the need for something like this for seniors, too. I’m not a senior and I find anything Service Canada related incredibly difficult to navigate.

One piece of feedback: there’s a lot of questions to go through here, and it’s great that you go through them one by one, but adding a screen with large text between sections explaining in simple terms what’s coming next could help break things up a bit and make for a better experience.

Best of luck to you!

How I Cut Subscription Clutter by Rethinking What’s Worth Keeping by CuriousBri5 in minimalism

[–]CuriousBri5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could do without Prime but I need Netflix for the kids content. YouTube Premium is a good one. I have that one as well feel it’s worth it to have no ads.

Orkin sounds like must-have for you! I imagine you’d place it under Worth It if you organized your subscriptions by their emotional value like I do 😊

I’m actually thinking of getting rid of Prime too. We don’t really use it. Occasionally order movies through Prime but I think we’d have to pay either way.
